Im sure this has been brought up before but I am new to the forum and could not find anything about it... I saw a thread about the xs headers sold by ssautochrome and from the reviews I am very worried about ordering anything from them. But from what I can tell this is about my only option on finding headers for our cars, unless i get really really lucky and find some used comptech headers. Does ANYONE out there know of any other brands that sell headers for our cars?????

 

Not for 6speeds

 

So I guess ill try my luck and go with the xs headers and hope I have a good experience. Thanks gnuts

 

I ran them on my old CL. Think I replaced the flex pipe, no other problems.

 

how long did you have them on before you had to replace the flex pipe?

 

Just as added measure you should get the welds reinforce before installing the xs headers.

 

Why? Mine have been on for over 200k miles and the only thing i have replaced is the flex pipe.

That said, DONT get them if the ones you are looking at have 2 flex pipes.

Your other option is to get the DC sports and grind down the rear motor mount enough that they clear.

 

FYI there is a member on the "other" site selling brand new comptech 6 speed headers. I wanted them but just don't have the funds

 

That's what I've read, and mine had a crack.

 

Same here, had them on for 55K miles & just broke the flex pipe. Got a new one welded in. They were the original XS ones though. Before they went through different made batches.

 

what other site are you talking about?
BTW thanks everyone for the input. If i can't get any used comptech headers ill go ahead and get these. Probably have the flex pipe reinforced to.

 

i have recently sent a few emails to xs power requesting that i am aware of some of the variations of the product they produce for my application. i asked that they if they can assure me that they can provide the one flex pipe and xs branded version i will buy. i have not received a single response - not very promising! anyone receive a recent order??? quality issues??? thanks

I emailed the above link and received a response in about 5-6 days... His name is Justin.

 

I had emailed him originally. I will try him again.

thanks!! Already placed my order with very specific instructions I have my fingers crossed. Good luck !!

 

awesome i will be ordering mine as soon as I get paid.

 

Just wondering does anyone know exactly how bigger the XS headers are than stock, in diameter?

 

Any updates on the XS headers from anyone that recently purchased them?
